@PetePranica, if you need a fan of the game tonight at MSG, I’m your guy! #gogrizz #GNG

[Brady Holmer @Brady_H]

We’re cooked.

[Max Paquette, PhD, FACSM @BiomechMax]

@DelawareTrackXC @MurpheyClassic @sound_running @usatf haha, except the organization of the sentence is important... the word "support" is critical here... Also, lots of changes at usatf, good stuff happening.

[Max Paquette, PhD, FACSM @BiomechMax]

It's ok, @MurpheyClassic and @sound_running events July 12, run by experienced orgs with sensible fiscal understanding, are still happening w/ @usatf support. Let's hope this is a valuable lesson moving forward, no need to reinvent the wheel, we just need to improve what we have!

-GST LA cancelled
-The U20 kids are not going to Colombia
-USATF meets cancelled

[Max Paquette, PhD, FACSM @BiomechMax]

@stevefleck @Cathal_Dennehy Lots of reasons for this but think part of it is the youth aspects have almost no tie to what happens beyond HS. Plus, youth meets are drawn out and generally quite boring and tedious for parents. Then parents/families think the sport is boring and have no interest.

@_serenityd @kxnaomi 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[Max Paquette, PhD, FACSM @BiomechMax]

@kxnaomi Hopefully US athletes and stakeholders get behind established and supportive events like @MurpheyClassic and @sound_running!

[Bas Van Hooren @BasVanHooren]

New study where we investigate whether 1) ‘super shoes’ work for recreat. runners, and 2) why some runners benefit more

1. Super shoes improved RE by 2–4%
2. Comfort, anthropometrics, muscle architecture & running style didn't explain who benefited most

Hey Memphis sport media, the @MurpheyClassic is hosting Olympian Kyree King tomorrow as a speaker at the @MSCIAAfever metro track camp from 9am to 12pm at Halle stadium. Kyree is ranked top 10 in the world in the 200m and is a Paris Olympian.

@CitiusMag That is a niche joke and I'm here for it 😂

[Max Paquette, PhD, FACSM @BiomechMax]

Great study by @KimHebertLosier!

Running in a painted super shoe labeled “knock off” and in an intact one to tease out placebo effect.

Differences in perceptual DVs but not in objective measures (RE + biomech) rejecting the placebo hypo.

Nicely done!

@novicephysio @GregLehman I finish my easy runs with no problems :)

Jokes aside, I don’t know the degree to which small kinematic changes influence markers of performance.

[Max Paquette, PhD, FACSM @BiomechMax]

@GregLehman Funny you bring this up. I have soleus issues, comes and goes but never goes away! The only 'gait modification' that has helped (reduces symptoms when I have them) is to run more upright. I think it's because of less knee flexion and dorsiflexion excursion.

[Max Paquette, PhD, FACSM @BiomechMax]

Is anyone else in the US getting payment issues (cannot process error) trying to register for the @ISBiomechanics annual meeting?

[Max Paquette, PhD, FACSM @BiomechMax]

I entered this @andyfrasco #sweepstakes on #tunespeak. Follow the link below to enter & help me win. https://t.co/CL7uLZdUlP

[Max Paquette, PhD, FACSM @BiomechMax]

A student working w/ @IzzyMoorePhD is studying patellofemoral pain and gait retraining in runners. The study is online and open to runners all over the World!
